sanjay gupta. host of sanjay gupta m.d. when you hear liza talk about her child and his struggles, she's taken a lot of criticism. what do you think? >> it was a good interview. you got the sense it was a little therapeutic for her, her writing. she writes this stuff. seeing her, mieeting her throug the interview, you can tell she's not the kind of mom who is going to do those things. she's frustrated. imagine the threshold to get your child treatment is they have to be imminent harm to themselves or other people. that's like saying you can only go to the hospital if you're already having a heart attack. that doesn't make sense. that's the problem when you talk about putting mental health on par with physical health. it's not right now. >> it was hard when you have to guard your chiarge your child with battery or assault to get them care. you have done the numbers, 1 in 5 children have a mental health issue in this country. that's an amazing number. >> that is an amazing number, and the mental health resources aren't there.
